Claude Code hangs during long-running operations after recent upgrade

Description

Claude Code hangs intermittently during long-running operations. It works for 5-6 interactions then becomes unresponsive.

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.17
• OS: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
• Platform: darwin

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Claude Code for data migration tasks (BigQuery to PostgreSQL)
2. After 5-6 successful tool calls/interactions, Claude Code hangs
3. Requires pkill -f claude to recover

Expected Behavior

Claude Code should remain responsive during long-running operations.

Actual Behavior

Claude Code becomes unresponsive and hangs, requiring a forced restart.

Additional Context

• This started happening after a recent software upgrade
• Previously worked reliably for one-month data migration periods
• The hanging may be related to the duration of operations rather than a specific action
